A vehicular vision system includes a forward viewing camera disposed at and viewing through a windshield of a vehicle, and a driver viewing camera that views the eyes of a driver of the vehicle. Image data captured by the forward viewing camera is processed to determine (i) a light source ahead of the vehicle, (ii) an intensity of the determined light source and (iii) a position of the determined light source relative to the vehicle. Image data captured by the driver viewing camera is processed to determine gaze direction of the driver. The system determines a region of the windshield based at least in part on (i) the determined position of the determined light source and (ii) the determined gaze direction of the driver. The system, responsive to the intensity of the determined light source being greater than a threshold level, locally darkens the determined region of the windshield.
